DiDio & Lee Say Early "Rebirth" Response is 'Uncharted Territory' for DC Comics
Comic Books
Awards | A committee chaired by writer and historian Mark Evanier has chosen Elliot S! Maggin and Richard E. Hughes as the recipients of this year's Bill Finger Awards, which honor writers whose work has not gotten the recognition it deserves. Maggin is a longtime comics writer whose credits include Green Arrow, Batman, Justice League, Peter Parker, Strange Sports Stories, and the Marvel Classics version of The Iliad. Hughes, who died in 1974, was a prolific writer who worked under a number of pen names. He created The Black Terror for Standard Comics in the 1940s and later became editor at American Comics Group, where he scripted many comics. He is the co-creator of Herbie Popnecker, the Fat Fury, who later got his own comic. The awards will be presented at the Eisner Awards ceremony at Comic-Con International in San Diego. [Comic-Con International]
Conventions | Organizers of the San Diego Hall of Champions sports museum announced this week they've been in talks with Comic-Con International about establishing a comics-focused museum in the city's Balboa Park. The report notes that "details remain sketchy," even though discussions have been under way for the past year. "There's no hurry to move it along," said Hall of Champions board member Dan Shea. As the report notes, this isn't the first time a Comic-Con museum has been discussed: Stalled expansion plans for the current San Diego Convention Center called for a museum celebrating the event. [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
Boutique home video distributor Criterion commissioned Samuel Hiti (Los Tiempos Finales, Death-Day) and a list of other great comics artists to create artwork for the individual films in the company's box set for the long-running Zatoichi series starring Shintaro Katsu as a blind, but incredibly quick and accurate swordsman. Hiti designed the cover for Zatoichi the Fugitive, the fourth in the series.
Twenty-five Zatoichi films were produced between 1962 and 1973, making it the longest-running action series in Japanese history. There was also a four-season TV series in the late '70s. The Criterion box set collects those first 25 feature films in one package for the first time, but doesn't include 1989's Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman, written and directed by Shintaro Katsu himself.
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.

If I (only) had $15, I'd first pick up Creator Owned Heroes #2 (Image, $3.99). This format is something I revel in, and it doesn't hurt to have good comics like those from Palmiotti, Gray, Noto, Niles and Mellon. After that I'd get the long-awaited Infernal Man-Thing #1 (Marvel, $3.99). I only found out about this delayed-'80s series in the early 2000s, but I had the chance to speak to Kevin Nowlan about a year back and we talked at length about the book. He showed me some art and I was sold. Third on my list would be Invincible #93 (Image, $2.99). The Walking Dead might be getting all the attention, but if I had to chose between all of the books Kirkman's written it'd easily be Invincible. He and artists Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley continue to bring their A-game here, and this new format with Ottley and Walker trading pages is great. With the last bit of my $15 I'd pick up Avengers Vs. X-Men #7 (Marvel, $3.99). This has easily become one of the greatest event series since Civil War, and the last issue in particular sold it with the twin stylings of Jonathan Hickman and Olivier Coipel. You might say I have diminished thresholds when it comes to event series, but I see it as a different kind of comic than, I don't know, Dan Clowes or something. It's its own thing, and in this case it's very good at it.
If I had $30, I'd get Mike Norton's Battlepug HC (Dark Horse, $14.99). Call me a fool for buying a free webcomic in trade, but I missed the boat when this was coming out online. Norton has won me over with his work through the years and I have no problem shelling out $15 bucks to see it in this hardcover format – even if I'm not a dog person.
And for splurging, I'd get Ed Piskor's Wizzywig HC (Top Shelf, $19.95). This is exactly the kind of book that fits in my wheelhouse, but like Battlepug I missed out on this when it was first published. Like some sort of Hackers movie done right (sorry Angelina!), I want to learn more about this and eschew my status as a neo-maxi-zoom-dweebie.
Here's something to look forward to if you've ever heard the call of Cthlhu: A Love Craft, an upcoming exhibition of art inspired by the work of hugely influential horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. Hosted at Observatory in Brooklyn beginning with a Friday, June 11th opening reception at 7pm, the show features such masters of the macabre as Monster Brains impresario Aeron Alfrey and comics artists Greg Ruth and Johnny Ryan, whose contribution you can see after the jump. Go get your fhtagn on!

Bars of the BVI - trip report
I was on the Arabella last week, sailing around the U.S., Spanish and British Virgin Islands. The BVI was undoubtedly party central, so I'm writing up trip reports on my blog. My first post, about Pirates Bight and Willy T's on Norman Island, is up (with Jost Van Dyke to follow). Happy to answer any questions!
Report Abuse
great report so far can't wait for the next half
Report Abuse
Thanks! Here's the second part. Not sure why I didn't like these two iconic BVI bars better.
Report Abuse
Sorry you didn't like Soggy's and Foxy's more. Soggy's has always been the ultimate in laid back to me, and I've been lucky in that on every visit to Foxy's I've been able to see the man himself - his health is none too good and the doc has ordered him to stop singing (and supposedly to stop talking, but try to make that stick), but he is charming as hell.
Report Abuse
I understand about Soggy's. The first time I was in Jost Van Dyke was 25 years ago! It was the pioneer of beach shacks and extremely cool. Like all places thru the years that get popular, the next time I went, about 6 years ago, it was crowded! Lounge chair rentals lined up on the beach, etc.
In general though, I find the small bars of VI to have character.
I always love your reports, written so they are so fun to read. Keep them coming!
Report Abuse
have to disagree abou the Soggy Dollar - your timing was maybe not perfect (your last day, hot+humid, tired).
we were there in early January, and it was about as perfect day as can be - overcast, a few sprinkles early, and maybe 20 folks total. our group of 8 took over the bar, as no one else was sitting there, and drank and ate for about 4 hours.
Sirius satellite radio on the reggae channel, played the ring game, swam,and basically had a grand old time. we were in a powerboat, so we headed to the Willie T for happy hour to close a perfect day of island bar-hopping.
the lack of heat, humidity and the cloud cover made it so nice to be outside, enjoying the islands.
Report Abuse
Joester - You are right. I think enjoyment of some of these places completely depends on how big the crowds are, as well as the weather. I don't certainly purport to speak for everyone! Glad you had fun, I certainly loved the islands overall.

Ready in 45 minutes
Try this Chocolate-Covered Strawberries recipe, or contribute your own.
405 people want to try | 554 have favorited
Line a baking sheet with foil or waxed paper. In the top of a double boiler set over hot water melt the chocolate, stirring. Add the 3 tablespoons of cream and the butter and stir until smooth.
Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip into the chocolate mixture allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the pan.
If necessary, add additional cream to the chocolate to achieve desired coating consistency. Transfer the coated strawberry to the lined sheet and repeat the process.
Allow the chocolate to cool and then chill the strawberries until chocolate is set, about 20 to 30 minutes. This recipe yields 10 chocolate-covered strawberries.

jdriemeyer 1y agoThis is super easy. My 12yo made them. They tasted just heavenly!!! The bittersweet is perfect with the strawberries. We ended up with enough chocolate to dip at least another batch of strawberries. Make sure you buy plenty of berries. Or you could do marshmallows like we did, but those are not near as tasty.
lisarosario1969 2y ago
Crb32 3y agoVery easy and delicious.
l_goodheart 3y agoSo easy!! I used white chocolate and milk chocolate to drizzle over the strawberries.

Laurie Lang
Laurie Lang
Crossing Over
SURE-FOOTED YET stylistically adventurous, Crossing Over is a pleasant surprise for those of us who had pigeonholed Lang through her past work with the Wolverines and the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra. Over the course of 13 tunes, the bass violinist arrays her ambitious compositions and arrangements with a keen sense of pacing that makes the most of the highlights and allows her few failures to come off as noble experiments.
The highlights begin with the second track, "Who Will Buy?" a smooth, lightly boppish groove spiced by Joel Adams's trombone. "Intellect" is an erudite dialogue between Lang's bass and Brad Pregeant's piano, followed by "Selah," a gorgeous solo refrain from Lang that has a burnished, oboe-like resonance. That in turn leads into "Steal Away," a spirited New Orleans-style jam featuring trombone, clarinet, and banjo.
Another delightful trio of tunes begins with pianist Stan Godfriaux's funky take on the gospel standard "Oh Happy Day," followed by the ethereal voicings of "Listen" and the chamber-jazz discipline of violin, cello, and harpsichord on "Theatre Is Empty." The opening "Rivers of Babylon" strains for significance, with Hebrew and Yoruba vocal stylings in a repetitious chant against percussion that ultimately bites off more than it can chew. But again, even such missteps are admirable for their reach. Hers is a talent to watch.
Laurie Lang performs Thursday at the Artists' Quarter.

Assuming you are using the SimpleStrategy or the NetworkTopologyStrategy and one rack per DC. If you backed up every 2nd node you would get one copy *IF* all nodes were consistent on disk. That can be a reasonably large if that you need to monitor. It's easier to back up all the nodes it will also make it easier to restore the cluster.

Q&A/William Stanley; Small-Town History, From the Heart
By ROBERT A. HAMILTON
Published: January 18, 1998
WILLIAM STANLEY of Norwich is a vice president of the stock brokerage firm Paine Webber, but his avocation is local history.
He has written and published four books on Norwich in the early 20th century -- ''Once Upon a Time,'' parts one through three, and ''Only Yesterday,'' a picture book -- and published a fifth, ''The Faith Jennings Collection,'' based on a collection of photographs owned by another Norwich resident.
Mr. Stanley, 68, trained at the New York School of Modern Photography, then joined the Marine Corps, where his specialty was combat photography. He became a photographer for The Norwich Bulletin and the Norwich coroner and was a radio announcer before going into the brokerage business in the late 1950's.
Then, six years ago, he was asked to write a column for the local paper describing historic Norwich to accompany one of his old photographs. That was the start of his latest career, as publisher.
Mr. Stanley answered questions about his books and local history in general during an interview at his home on Meadow Lane in Norwich. Following are excerpts from that conversation.
Q. How did you get started writing columns?
A. Keith Fontaine, the editor of The Bulletin, ran one of my pictures once, of the 1951 City Council. I know Keith, so I called him and joked that he should have given me credit. He said that picture had provoked a strong reaction from readers. He took me to lunch and asked me if I would consider doing a story a month.
I did the first one, and I got 15 or 20 calls at the house here, and over 25 pieces of mail. The Bulletin just couldn't get over it. So he asked if I could do another a week later. The response was great again, and I guess even the circulation department noticed. Keith said would I do it weekly. So I did.
Q. When did you realize there was a market for local history books?
A. When we did book one, we printed 1,000 and they went on sale at all the savings banks in town on Thanksgiving in 1993, and they were sold out by noon the first day. I thought, ''Holy cow, what do we have here?'' So I said, ''Why don't we print another 1,500?'' and they hit the banks on Thursday of the following week, and they were all gone by Friday afternoon. Book one went into five printings.
Q. Were you surprised?
A. It blows me away. When I have a book signing, it will go for three hours, 500 to 700 books.
Q. What attracts your readers?
A. I write about times when politicians were honest and priests were respected and the church was the center of community. Bad guys were punished, good prevailed, hard work was rewarded.
Now it seems that crime pays, there is nothing immoral -- if it feels good, do it.
People died younger, they suffered more because we didn't have the medicine we have today, they didn't have refrigeration in the 1930's and they didn't have television in the 40's. But you knew your neighbors. Everybody has a family album. I think my books are a big family album.
Q. Are the buyers mostly local?
A. When I did book two, we had 1,200 out of town orders. A lot of them were from Danielson, Putnam, Groton, New London, but then from Tucson, Salt Lake City, Miami, people who had gone out across the country.
Q. Is there a place for these kind of books in other towns?
A. In every town. You just have to find the right person. Some people say I'm a historian, but I am not. I'm a storyteller. I try to be factual, but I don't spend hours in research. I could find out that something happened on May 12, 1953, but I don't, I say in the early 1950's. Another thing I do, I pull an Ernie Pyle. Ernie Pyle was one of the great journalists of World War II. He used to write the guys' names in his story, and I go out of my way to mention names. I took a picture of the west side, and Keith Fontaine made fun of the fact that I mentioned the woman whose laundry was out on the line that day. Well, her daughter called and thanked me. It's a sentimental thing.
Q. Do your readers ever call you with different recollections of things you write about?
A. I have people who call the house and they say ''Thorp didn't spell his name with an 'e' on the end.'' O.K. So what do you want? I wrote about a picture of a float going up Franklin Street in the 300th anniversary parade, so beautiful I said I thought it was the winning float. Well it wasn't. The Greek Orthodox Church wrote a nice letter to the editor and said they had won. It was important to them.
Q. What happens to the proceeds from the sales?
A. I give most of the money away. The first book, it made about $50,000, and I gave it all so St. Jude's, which is housing for the elderly. We bought a big gazebo, and we had a beautiful garden made, and we put a fountain in. The most recent books, I've given the money to the Tommy Toy Fun.
I don't give it all away, although I've never spent a penny from any of the books. But when we did the Faith Jennings collection, it needed up-front money of about $15,000, so I dipped into the book fund. If you give all the money away and you have one that doesn't do so well, you're out of business.
Q. So if you're not making money, why write?

Greece Mulling Exit From Euro Area, Germany's Der Spiegel Says
Greece is considering withdrawing from the euro and returning to its old currency, prompting emergency talks by European Union officials, Der Spiegel reported, without saying how it got the information.
The European Commission has called a meeting in Luxembourg today to discuss Greece's threat and a possible debt restructuring, the German magazine reported on its website. A German government spokesman dismissed the report, saying "categorically" there are no talks about a Greek withdrawal from the euro.
Greece leaving the euro "isn't on the table and hasn't been on the table for the German government and isn't a topic at the European level," Steffen Seibert, Chancellor Angela Merkel's chief spokesman, said by telephone.
The Greek Finance Ministry denied any plan to leave the euro in an e-mailed statement. A spokesman for Jean-Claude Juncker, the Luxembourg prime minister who also leads the euro-region's finance ministers, denied the report. French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde has no immediate comment on the report, a spokesman said.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble is taking part in the talks and wants to keep Greece from carrying out its threat, Der Spiegel said. The German Finance Ministry is warning that reintroducing Greece's old currency would lead to a devaluation that would boost the country's outstanding debt by as much as 50 percent, Der Spiegel said, citing an internal study prepared at the ministry.

Installing OpenSSL Support for Ruby on UbuntuSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 05:05:51 PM Filed under
The more I work with Ubuntu, the more I think it's a very good desktop, but not a good development machine. For instance, you can install Ruby 1.8.4 from the package management system, but not 1.8.5 (or 1.8.6 which is now the latest). So you're stuck compiling ruby on your own.
Red Hat insists rivals not gainingSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 05:00:20 PM Filed under
Responding to ZDNet Asia's query Thursday during the launch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Exchange, Scott H. Crenshaw, the company's vice president of enterprise Linux platform business, said: "I've seen no data to suggest that we're losing market share." Crenshaw added that Novell's revenues from its Linux products are nothing to shout about.
A clear case for operating system harmonySubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 04:57:46 PM Filed under
There was scepticism last year when arch-rivals Microsoft and Novell signed an alliance which would see Microsoft sell and support Linux systems.
Some argued that it was a ploy by Microsoft to convert Linux users to Windows. Now two of the world's largest organisations - Wal-Mart and HSBC - have signed up to Microsoft's Linux.
How do I... Configure TightVNC for remote access?Submitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 04:53:17 PM Filed under
Numerous remote administration and connectivity tools exist to help support technicians and IT administrators troubleshoot, maintain, and access systems in different locations. Some are easy to use and require no firewall configuration. Others possess expensive and potentially prohibitive licensing requirements, while delivering more advanced functionality.
How to create a command-line password lockerSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 04:48:38 PM Filed under
Like many people, I have too many passwords to remember. To keep them straight, I wrote a simple password locker script using dialog and GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard). The script prompts the user for a master password using a dialog box, unencrypts a file that holds a list of passwords, and opens the file in a text editor. When the editor is closed, the script re-encrypts the password file.
Howto install & use Flash, Java, Real Player 32 bit plugins under 64 bit FirefoxSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 04:47:18 PM Filed under
Recently I found nspluginwrapper which allows to use 32bit plugins on a 64bit Firefox browser using nspluginwrapper. It is an Open Source compatibility plugin for Netscape 4 (NPAPI) plugins. That is, it enables you to use plugins on platforms they were not built for.
For example, you can following plugin on Linux/x86_64 , NetBSD and FreeBSD platforms:

Gnome GDM TricksSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 04:45:39 PM Filed under

In Search Of GPL Version 3: The Long Road To NowhereSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 04:31:08 PM Filed under
A month ago, I started down a path that I hoped would lead me to a great prize: an explanation from the authors of how the General Public License Version 3.0 was shaping up. Little did I know that this journey would contain more curves than San Francisco's Lombard Street.
Free Software Versus Open Source SoftwareSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 04:29:25 PM Filed under
The terms "Free Software" and "Open Source Software" are often used interchangeably, and even abbreviated together as F/OSS (for "Free/Open Source Software"). Are there any differences between the two? If so, what are those differences? If not, why do the two different names exist? David Chisnall examines this paradox.
The Birth of Free Software
Using RADIUS to authenticate users with RSA SecurIDSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 01:23:18 PM Filed under
Recently I was tasked with authenticating users who carry RSA SecurID tokens. I was highly inspired by Jeff Wirth and his success using RADIUS to authenticate with SecurID Tokens on FreeBSD. While I'm not a fan of non-free software, it's possible to make each server authenticate against the non-free RSA Ace server using only free software.
The Visual History of UbuntuSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 01:21:33 PM Filed under
While Debian has been around for over a decade, Gentoo for five years, and Mandriva/Mandrake for nearly nine years, in less than three years of existence Ubuntu has received the most attention and generated the greatest amount of publicity in the Linux limelight. Why is that?

Science stars trace a long handwritten journeySubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 08:45:17 AM Filed under
Alan Pierce stands next to a computer in a darkened classroom and traces "h-e-l-l-o" on a small computer's touch-sensitive data entry screen.

Canonical Ltd Launches Global Partner Programme for UbuntuSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 08:43:28 AM Filed under
Canonical Ltd, the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu, today announced its newly created Partner Programme to drive awareness and adoption of business-ready, Open Source server platforms, and desktop solutions.
Backing Up with KeepSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 08:41:34 AM Filed under
Keep is the second entry in my Backing Up series. It is a lightweight app that makes it simple to create and manage multiple backups. At first glance Keep's feature set looks very solid, but when trying it out I quickly discovered some limitations that really limit its potential.
I tested with version 0.3.0 and 0.4.0 on Kubuntu Edgy and 0.4.0 on Debian Etch.
Appearance and Useability
Will Microsoft buy Novell?Submitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 08:40:11 AM Filed under
The answer to that question is probably not, though the thought had crossed my mind. In a way they already have done in a small way, they have given Novell approximately a quater's worth of net profit in return for what appears to be a cut of all Open Enterprise and SUSE Linux sales. Although no shares have changed hands, this, in itself, seems to me to be a kind of "virtual" company sale.
Nominations open for second annual Mellon Foundation technology awardsSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 08:38:52 AM Filed under
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's Research in Information Technology (RIT) program has opened nominations for the 2007 Mellon Awards for Technology Collaboration (MATC). Prizes of $50,000 to $100,000 will be awarded to the winners in December.

Taiwan notebook players sound off on LinuxSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 08:37:20 AM Filed under
Considering that Dell recently asked its clients for their opinions on selling Linux-based notebooks, it was interesting to raise the same question to Taiwan-based notebook http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/add/storyplayers, and the results showed that branded players are more conservative than ODM manufacturers concerning adopting Linux compared with a Microsoft operating system (OS).
Ubuntu impressions 5 days onSubmitted by srlinuxx on Friday 16th of March 2007 04:56:31 AM Filed under
Five days ago I installed linux for the first time in a decade. am I impressed? Hell yes. upfront, ease of use, intuitive configuration and accessibility were great. everything was detected and worked out of the box, or should i say out of the ISO.

Pioneer AVIC-F900BT
Excellent aftermarket in-car entertainment
- More affordable than the AVIC-HD3, SUNA compatibility, plenty of input sources, good display, easy navigation
- Turn-by-turn directions mute other audio, no reversing camera packaged, limited video format support
Bottom Line
For the driver who desires an extensive in-car entertainment experience, the AVIC-F900BT certainly delivers on most fronts. It is much more affordable than its predecessors, and a number of refinements make this the best AVIC device yet.
Price$ 1,999.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 2 stores)
Pioneer's acclaimed AVIC range has been refreshed with the new AVIC-F900BT. This in-dash unit improves on the AVIC-HD3, managing to fit in even more features . It won't suit everyone, but at almost half the price of its predecessor it is much more affordable.
Unlike Pioneer's AVIC-F500BT, the AVIC-F900BT uses a standard double-DIN form factor, making it suitable for most cars. Although this makes it larger than most head units, none of this space is wasted. A 5.8in touch screen dominates the fascia; it is accompanied by a multifunctional rotary dial and quick access buttons for the home menu and navigation. The unit's face plate is also home to an SD card slot, a DVD/CD player and an auxiliary 3.5mm input for connection to any standard portable media player.
There's nothing truly amazing about the AVIC-F900BT's connectivity, but there doesn't really need to be. The integrated amplifier supports four channels at 50W each, and this is supplemented by the unit's three RCA pre-outs for connection to external amplifiers. iPod and USB connectivity are also included, although you can't have an iPod and a USB device connected at the same time. The unit supports the recently released iPhone 3G.
Bluetooth functionality is also integrated, allowing hands-free calling and full contact synchronisation for extensive phone control through the unit. The AVIC-F900BT is packaged with an external microphone that can be placed in a convenient location within a car. An optional reversing camera can also be installed.
Past AVIC head units have suffered from a cluttered interface, but the AVIC-F900BT has a much more user-friendly look. The home screen has three main options: GPS, phone contacts or audio-visual entertainment. Each subsequent screen is a well laid out mix of relevant options. The contact screen is alphabetically ordered and easy to scroll through, even while driving. The AV Source screen is dynamic, highlighting only options that are available. The destination screen provides standard GPS navigation options, including adding an address or point of interest; we preferred to skip directly to the 'Map' button.
The navigation mode provides a better experience than most automotive GPS devices. Integrated points of interest are available to aid navigation, as well as fixed red light and speed camera information. The AVIC-F900BT will be compatible with the SUNA traffic channel at no extra cost, but this won't be available until the unit's maps are updated to Sensis V15.1 (this should happen around March next year, according to Pioneer).
We did notice that the touch screen, which was often quite responsive during normal use, became slightly more resistive in GPS mode, requiring us to press slightly harder in order to navigate around the map. Turn-by-turn and text-to-speech navigation can also be slightly annoying because the unit mutes your music every time it gives a direction.
Media format support could be slightly improved, but it is adequate. DivX DVDs are supported, but video support from other sources is limited to MPEG4.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Which makes it that much harder for Woods. He's got to take pain to another level. And it shows.
"He's been hit in the head too many times," Pruitt says.
"By you," Christa shoots back. Woods is inside Wal-Mart buying the clamp. The fight is supposed to start in 10 minutes.
"I don't aim for the head," Pruitt says. "He walks into that shit."
The Corolla nearly passes the driveway, which loops behind a bungalow in Forest Park that looks like the other bungalows in Forest Park. Pruitt and Woods get out and look around. They must determine where in the yard to fight.
Inside, Tim and his girlfriend sit in Tim's parents' basement, waiting on the wrestlers to knock. The walls of the basement and the ceiling are painted black. A camouflage spread covers both couches. On one side of the room, two flesh-eating fish circle each other in a dim tank. On the other, a kitten bats at caged crickets. Three television sets sit silent in a wall-sized entertainment center. Tim rolls a joint. The stereo plays Tchaikovsky.
"Tchaikovsky," his girlfriend says.
"Jack-offsky?" He grins.
Pruitt raps on the door and enters, followed by Christa and Mike Woods. The CD player changes discs, from The Nutcracker to heavy metal rockers Slipknot. Pruitt and Tim talk music. Woods ignores them. He waves away a joint passed to him. He's intent on fixing his mask.
He has three others he can wear, but he considers this one -- white latex with black horns and black mesh -- the prettiest. He's using the binding clamp he just bought at Wal-Mart to refasten the elastic band that holds the mask to his head.
Tim's brother Chris walks into the basement with a friend. Another friend will arrive later, in a white pickup, and Mike Stone, a promoter and the founder of Shrapnel Films, will show up with the video camera. A bigger crowd was assembled four days earlier, when the match was originally scheduled. But Pruitt didn't show, and the whole crowd has not returned. Pruitt would only say that "some shit came up."
That was Saturday. Tim's parents seemed uninterested in the fight scheduled in their backyard, although one of the older men in the crowd brought a waiver for the wrestlers to sign. It stated that if they got badly hurt, or killed, they wouldn't sue the homeowners.
Today, Wednesday, the arrangement is more chill.
"My parents said if one of you gets killed, we're gonna have to bury you in the backyard," Tim says to Woods.
Woods keeps working on the mask.
By the time the match approaches, it is getting cold in the shade. A shadow covers most of Tim's backyard. A gravel driveway forms a donut around a wooden shed and a sign that says: "Don't spin out in the driveway. MFRS." Beyond the gravel is a pit of wood chips surrounded by thick pine trees.
Woods walks the few yards from the basement to the Corolla and starts unloading the trunk. He throws on the ground three-foot-long florescent bulbs, street signs, sheetrock, a metal folding chair, an axe and a tangle of barbed wire.
He suits up. First on is the Point Blank bullet-proof vest, then the City of Atlanta "Recruit" shirt with matching navy pants, followed by Ace bandage elbow pads and plastic shin guards. He duct tapes the shin guards around his calves.
He gets back to work on the mask.
The crowd of five, which has moved from the basement to a cluster of lawn furniture, rails Woods about his fixation with the mask. One person raises his voice, but not loud enough for Woods to hear: "I wanna see blood and broken bones."
People have poked fun at Woods before, but back then it was different. Back then he was in grade school.
"I was called Porky Pig because I always stuttered and all," Woods says. "It wasn't because I couldn't communicate. I was nervous because I was afraid of being hit. I was just beaten all the time, as far back as I can remember."
The training began. Somewhere along the line, Woods' stuttering become less obvious. The more he fought, the less afraid he was.
"For some odd reason, I like to be hit more and abused more," Woods says. "And I think that that's from my childhood. I like to be at the bottom end and work my way up, just to show that, hey, I can fight my way back."
Woods tries the mask on. A tight fit. Perfect. He takes it off and approaches the house.

"I come to visit Costa Rica several times a year and like to go fishing in Quepos. I always stay at the Kamuk Hotel, because they treat me there like a good friend. I hope I can come back there for many years and enjoy the friendly service and excellent food. "

Publisher's Description
Is your life limited by labels the world and other people have used to define you?
Labels you have internalized and apply to yourself every day. Labels like Afraid. Or Addict. Orphan. Damaged Goods. Failure. Maybe even Religious. These labels might be sewn into your life with such tight little stitches that they feel like a part of you. They feel like they define you. But thats a lie. If you let Him, Jesus can remove those old labels and tattoo new ones onto your soul. Then youll begin to see yourself as God the Father sees you. The limits will be lifted, and your life will be transformed. Its the truth. Join Pastor Derwin Gray on a fascinating journey into what can happen when you offer your head, your heart, and your hands to the only one who can offer you truly limitless life.

J. R.5 Stars Out Of 5Limitless LifeJuly 8, 2015J. R.Quality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5this books reaches into the dark crevices of your life to expose what God wants to heal. A must read for every Christian.
Shan5 Stars Out Of 5This book is life transforming.September 27, 2013ShanQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5"I cannot and will not allow the pain of my past to murder the happiness I experience today from knowing God as my father." That statement by author Derwin Gray pretty much sums up his book, Limitless Life. This book is about transforming lives. As Christians we need to realize that we are supposed to be the salt of the earth and offer a little flavor of Heaven. We need to stop worshipping our wounds and "stop living out of the hurt we feel" and instead live out of "the healing Jesus provides". Are you hiding behind an image you are trying to protect? Pastor Gray explains God is not interested in your image, but your heart. Are you living your life for your own glory indulging in your "self-crush" or are you using your talents and abilities for God's glory? Are you a consumer or a contributor of Jesus' kingdom? Your prayer life will answer that question for you. Are you praying for things to make yourself more comfortable in this life prostituting Jesus like some proverbial ATM machine in the sky believing your religious words are the magic pin number? These are the hard questions presented in Limitless Life. Pastor Gray will not just let you skim over those questions. He cuts right to the core and investigates your motives. You will find yourself challenged as well as encouraged. This book will not make you feel better about what you currently do, but it will encourage you to step up and do something different. We need to stop waiting to join His kingdom in Heaven and start growing His kingdom here. We need to be transformers, beginning with our own hearts. Just as Jesus did, we need to meet people in the damaged places and offer them a cup of grace. Underneath every outcast is a "trophy of grace".
jojosutiscornerAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5GET LIMITLESS!!!September 3, 2013jojosutiscornerAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5If you are ready to be touched, challenged & inspired to be all God made you to be, then THIS IS THE BOOK YOU NEED TO READ! Not only have I gone deeper in my relationship with God, but LIMITLESS LIFE has opened my eyes to the reality of how God really sees me and what He is capable of doing when I bring Him my brokenness. Derwin Gray has a passion for God and people...you can just feel it, as you listen to the stories he shares from his own life. The many wonderful real life testimonies in here will encourage you so much, knowing that if God did it for them, He will do it for you too! Everybody has a past, but I have learned that my past doesn't define me- my identity is in Christ! This is one of those GO-TO books that I'll keep in my library & read again & again. I encourage you to experience LIMITLESS LIFE for yourself.
